End Stop Mount for mUVe Printer

thingiverse

This device stores the printed components of an end stop mount for the mUVe 1.1 DLP printer (http://www.muve3d.net/press/product/muve-1-dlp/). It makes it easy to adjust the end stop height by using a thumb screw for precise adjustments. CAD work was done in OnShape, a cool new online tool that's definitely worth checking out at http://onshape.com. **Instructions** First, download and print each of the STL files. I printed on a FlashForge Creator with settings at 0.2mm thickness, three shells, and 10% infill. The printing process takes around 15 minutes to complete. **Other Parts You'll Need** 1. A MakerBot End Stop (remove the connector to access mounting holes) from Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4971 2. Two M3x12 socket head cap screws for mounting the End Stop 3. Two M3x10 socket head cap screws for mounting the Adj Mount 4. Three M3 Nuts 5. A small spring that fits around an M3 screw; compress it to less than 4mm length (optional) 6. A MicroRAX nut plate (if you don't have one, your printer's kit should include a few) **Assembly Instructions** First, desolder and remove the connector on the MakerBot End Stop, then attach whatever other wires you want to use. Insert two nuts into the bottom of the End Stop Extrusion Insert by pressing them in. Then insert the End Stop Extrusion Insert into the side of the 80/20 extrusion towards the middle of the mUVe DLP's Z axis. Next, thread two M3-12 bolts through the holes in the Spacer and then through the holes in the Spacer. The flat side of the spacer should be facing away from the end stop. After that, attach the end stop assembly into the Extrusion Insert (as described earlier).
